[PLUG] Problems with Intel D845PEBT2

[Piet van Weel]

Hmmm...

I'm running a similar system (I'm on it right now) D845PEBT2
Motherboard... not the greatest... but it certainly does work... We
watched Treasure Island DVD on the Windows Partition last night... 

I can't seem to get the sound working decently under linux... and the
Radeon 9700 is still toying with me under linux... but other than that
it works fairly nicely... 

I'm using Cyberlink PowerDVD under Win XP... If you don't want the
system I'll buy it from you... for the said $500... 

Also you may want to check the power settings... it was a bear getting
the power to clean up nicely... I even had to replace one power
supply...

Let me know... or send me an E-Mail pietvw @ onlinemac.com


Cheers...

Will EMU do an exchange?  This is a fairly new system, about $718 
worth of new stuff that I picked up recently being last month.  
I want to get rid of it because I can't get DVD playback to work 
under Linux or Windows, it seems to have a device routing problem, 
and the sound card which I didn't know it would have built into it
doesn't work properly under Windows 98 even with the patch applied.

I've gotten it to play through a DVD by disabling onboard sound and 
installing a SB Live but it still doesn't buffer properly.  I know 
putting a movie I tried on it into my brother's G4 to verify this 
fact.  It wasn't the scratches on the DVD unless my player is more
sensitive than his.

The system has a 2.4 Ghz processor, $199
The D845PEBT2 motherboard was $145
I think the memory, 512 megs of DDR, was $69
...the case is around $59.
And I bought an 80 Gig Hitachi with it as 
well.

Disabling the sound and replacing it may be ok for Linux but I guess 
on the Windows side the only possibility left is XP where I'm really 
not interested in throwing good money after bad.  Is the Soundman 
Cadenza integrated into this board supported under Linux yet?  
Does anyone have any clue on how to get DVD playback to work 
smoothly on this board under any OS?

Does anyone know how to sell stuff on E-Bay?  I figure I can sell this 
stuff for $500 and pay my parents back for the hard drive and
motherboard.
I'll just say that it isn't Linux compatible and that Windows 98 doesn't
very well on it unless you turn the onboard sound off and replace it.

There should be a warranty on these parts, maybe something's faulty.
I guess I need to look for the money order receipts.

To whoever answered my question of what is 100% Linux compatible, 
assuming this board is, where can I get a driver for the onboard 
sound and will the 2.6 kernel for sure support the serial ATA 
controller?

Does anyone know if DVD's can be played under Linux on this board
or if XP can be installed stably to it?
